Unfortunately people at large don’t feel as ‘rewarded’ for keeping native bees since they don’t produce honey, or like you said don’t even realize honeybees aren’t native.

If you don’t have a green thumb you can also hang a solitary bee house in your lawn/patio. Basically a bird house without a front stuffed with bored wood https://www.almanac.com/bee-houses-native-solitary-bees
